Hi Robert, It would probably require changing a bit of Dropbear's auth code to use mechanisms other than /etc/passwd, though in general probably not much work.
I've been reluctant to add more PAM support since the PAM programming interface is quite ill-suited to modern network applications (without forking a separate helper to talk to the PAM modules).
